Battle Grounds 2 and 3

Half-Life 2 mod |

The Battle Grounds 2 and Battle Grounds 3(BG3) are Half-Life 2 multiplayer modifications based on the American War of Independence (1775-1783). The British Army and its Native American tribal allies engage in battle against the United States Continental Army and militia forces. Take aim and fire muskets, prepare bayonets and take control of the battlefield to succeed in your campaign for final victory. Combat will vary from long-range rifle marksmanship to brutal close quarters hand-to-hand melee fighting. You will need a mix of first person combat skills and quick-thinking strategy to survive. So prepare yourself to do battle for your side and to meet the enemy head-on. Only one side can be victorious.

Happy new year and happy new version of Battle Grounds 2 for the source engine.

Again I quote this because it's as important as ever before:
This BETA version is far from being complete and you may encounter issues or bugs. We put a lot of effort into making everything more polished, nicer looking and smoother to play. But this is still not the final version.

Major new features in a nutshell are:
* major HUD improvements (capture point display, etc.)
* new playermodels
* updated maps
* lots of balancing, tweaking and optimizing
